INVITING JESUS INTO the MESSნიმუში

Honesty Is Holy

When I was younger, I thought faith meant pretending to be strong. I thought if I just kept smiling and saying, “I’m blessed,” I’d eventually start believing it. But pretending doesn’t produce peace; honesty does. God already knows what’s under the surface. He’s not asking for performance; He’s asking for presence. When you pour out your heart before Him, that’s not weakness, that’s worship. The woman at the well didn’t impress Jesus; she told Him the truth. And in return, she found living water. Honesty opens the door for Jesus to enter places we’ve kept locked for years. He can’t heal what we hide, but He can redeem anything we reveal.

Reflection:

• What’s one honest prayer you’ve been afraid to pray out loud?
• Whisper it today.
